Roman born Alessandro Nesta has been one of the worlds best, if not the best, central defenders for the past 10 years or so. But his various injury woes have seen him back away from his International duties.
Unfortunately for Roberto Donadoni’s Azzurri squad he won’t be able to select the big Milan defender […]

Spain 1 - Azzurri 0

It wasn’t a good game, it wasn’t a bad game. It was just sort of….eh. A performance befitting a meaningless game. No great revelations either, except that maybe kinda sorta perhaps Marco Materazzi isn’t starting material anymore (he was thisclose to a red in fricken friendly for throwing his hand at […]

Spain 1 - Italy 0
Halftime.
Half the liveblog and some comments got deleted….ummm. Apologies.
And that’s that and, uh….who cares? Friendly. Not too much in either direction.

Game
94′ Free kick to Gattuso flicked into the box, bounced out.

Basically, nothing is going to be decided today (or tomorrow, depending on where you are).

The reigning World Champions are looking forward to their Swissaustrian stay this summer. This is one of the deepest teams on the Travelling National Carnival. Marco Amelia’s performance for Livorno and his solid play against an aggressive Portuguese squad has demonstrated that he’s an excellent keeper. Not Gigi good but honestly, who is? Even […]

Antonio Cassano and his recent antics have surely ended the chances of seeing Antonio’s sweet football skills in the AustrianSwisses this summer. Or have they ?
It seems like Roberto Donadoni hasn’t made a final decision concerning The Talented Bari Born Player.
“I think that in terms of psychological calm, Cassano couldn’t ask for more, seeing the […]

Whaddya know, another goal, another meltdown from Antonio Cassano - proving he’s just as boiling hot and icy cold as ever. Talentino started the meltdown off in splendid fashion by scoring his 3,147th goal in the last month (or so it seems). Then he kicked out at the corner flag, as he’s been known to […]
